One week of Alabama football spring practice is in the books. And the Crimson Tide is now on a break, which leaves more than a week to think about these observations of the team so far.

Alabama is young at DB this spring, with Malachi Moore off to the NFL, while Keon Sabb and Domani Jackson are both out with injuries. Their absence has opened the door for younger players like Dijon Lee Jr. to get more reps but has also made Calhoun more visible.

Nearly all of Crimson Tide's 11 injured players were expected to either start or compete for significant snaps at their position.

With the Crimson Tide's first spring practice, Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell each took the field vying to be the next starting quarterback at Alabama with Jalen Milroe off to the NFL. To Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, it's a room that's only getting started.

Two days of practice are hardly enough to draw sweeping conclusions, but Grubb’s impact has been felt in his first 30 days on the job.

As usual, the Alabama Crimson Tide is set to have one of the most talented teams in the country in 2025. But their wide receiver group, led by star Ryan Williams, might be the best unit of any in the land.

Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is back in the role he held under head coach Kalen DeBoer for two years. While with the Washington Huskies, Grubb helped remake the offense.
